LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired left-handed pitcher Eric Lauer from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations. In order to make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred right-handed pitcher Brusdar Graterol to the 60-day injured list.

He has been in the Major Leagues eight seasons with the San Diego Padres (2018-19), Milwaukee Brewers (2020-23) and Toronto Blue Jays (2025-26), posting a 46-44 mark with a 4.26 ERA in 156 games.
